Treatments At-Home Hemodialysis
At-Home Hemodialysis (HHD) is when a kidney dialysis machine is placed in a patient’s home and the treatments are managed by the patient or a family member. Our home hemodialysis program includes comprehensive patient training and support and is managed by a team of physicians, nurses, dieticians, social workers and pharmacists.
Benefits of home hemodialysis
- Increased Independence: patients manage their own dialysis treatment
- More flexibility: patients can dialyze more frequently and for longer periods of time
- Improved quality of life: treatments in the home can lead to improved physical and mental health
- Greater control: gives patients control over their treatments and their time
- Reduced healthcare costs
- Travel is easier since you can take the machine with you.
At-Home hemodialysis is not available to everyone and will require a medical evaluation to determine eligibility by your Nephrologist.
